Our Lane Cove Conveyancing Services

Our Lane Cove conveyancers handle residential, commercial and family property matters across the Lower North Shore. Choose the service closest to your situation, or call us if you are not certain which one applies.

Residential Property

We act for buyers and sellers of houses, units and investment properties across Lane Cove and the surrounding suburbs. Our work covers the contract, the searches and enquiries, and the transaction through to exchange and completion.

Family Transfers

Transfers between family members are handled differently from a sale on the open market, with valuation and transfer duty both needing to be addressed. We prepare the transfer documents and take the matter through to registration.

Commercial Property

Retail and office premises, industrial sites and larger holdings all fall within our commercial work. Lease terms, GST and outgoings sit inside the contract itself, and we work through each of them with you before exchange.

Off-The-Plan

An off-the-plan contract is signed before the property is built, so the deposit, sunset date and completion terms all need to be carefully considered before signing. We review those terms and explain where you stand if the completion date moves.

Contract Reviews

Our contract review is a fixed-fee service, so the cost is known before you send anything through. We report on the special conditions, what is included in the sale, the deposit terms and the settlement date.

Contract Preparation

We prepare Contracts for Sale for residential and commercial property across Lane Cove and NSW. For residential sales, the Contract for Sale needs to be prepared before the property is offered for sale. We obtain the title documents, Section 10.7 planning certificate and other required documents, then prepare the contract.

Why Choose Our Lane Cove Conveyancers?

Around 70% of our work comes from repeat clients. Those are people who have already been through a purchase or a sale with us and chosen to use the practice again.

First Licensed Conveyancer in NSW

NSW did not license conveyancers until 1993, and our founder was the first person in the state to hold that licence. Across the practice, our conveyancers bring more than 60 years of combined experience in residential, commercial and retirement village transactions.

One Conveyancer, Start to Finish

You’ll have a dedicated conveyancer who guides you step by stepThe conveyancer who opens your file is the one who takes it through to settlement. Your matter stays with that person for the life of the transaction, so you are not explaining it twice., answers your questions in plain English and tailors advice to you.

Updates Without Chasing

We tell you what has happened and what comes next at each stage, rather than waiting for you to ask. If something needs a decision from you, we set out the options and what each one means for the transaction.

Fees Set Out in Writing

You receive our professional fees and the third-party disbursements before we start. Both are listed separately, so you can see what our fee is and what is a cost paid to a third party.

Areas We Service From Lane Cove

Our Lane Cove conveyancers act for clients across the Lower North Shore, including Lane Cove, Greenwich, Longueville, Riverview, Northwood, Artarmon, Chatswood, Willoughby and North Sydney. Conveyancing in NSW is not tied to where your conveyancer sits, so if your property falls outside those suburbs, we can still take the matter on.

Visit Our Lane Cove Office

Our Lane Cove office is open through the week, and appointments can be made with any of our conveyancers. If a contract has already been issued, send it through before you come in so it can be read ahead of the meeting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a conveyancer cost in Lane Cove?

The cost depends on what the transaction involves. Factors that affect it include the contract and any special conditions, the searches and enquiries required, whether the property is strata or a standalone lot, whether the purchase is off-the-plan, and what is needed at settlement. Our contract review is a fixed-fee service, so that figure is known before you send anything through. For a full purchase or sale, request a conveyancing quote or call our Lane Cove office on 02 9429 0000 or email enquiries@pauldenny.com.au.

When should I have a Contract for Sale reviewed?

The best time for a contract review is before exchange, while there is still room to request changes from the vendor. Most residential contracts exchanged by private treaty carry a five business day cooling-off period, and a buyer who withdraws within it forfeits 0.25% of the purchase price, so a review left until after exchange can become a costly way to deal with a problem. A property bought at auction carries no cooling-off period at all, which makes the review beforehand the only chance to raise anything.

Can your Lane Cove conveyancers act for property elsewhere in NSW?

Yes, conveyancers in NSW are licensed for the whole state, so property outside the Lower North Shore is well within our scope. Where the property sits has no bearing on who you engage, and remote conveyancing in NSW means most of the process runs electronically in any case.

Do I need a conveyancer before making an offer on a property?

Yes, in practice. Engaging one is not a legal requirement, but a contract review at that stage is worth doing, and it is when the common mistakes when buying property are easiest to catch. An offer accepted by an agent does not bind either party in NSW until contracts are exchanged, so the period before exchange is when the special conditions, the inclusions and the settlement date can still be negotiated.
